Answer: Liceu or Lyceum was Secondary Education or middle school during
Portuguese regime in Goa.
In the 1950s, the official educational setup consisted of primary and
secondary, which included the Liceu or Lyceum and the Technical schools.
Portuguese students who passed the Segundo Grau, either joined Liceu or
Escola Technica.
It is similar to the Panjim Liceu, which was known as ‘Liceu Afonso de
Albuquerque, Panjim’.
There was one Liceu each in Panjim, Margao and Mapusa. The Mapusa Liceu
was closed due to a lack of students and they were directed to join
Panjim Liceu, which continued classes in Portuguese until 1967.
The Carmelite nuns of St. Mary’s Convent High School took over Mapusa
Liceu building in 1963, where they continued to teach until they moved
to their new location in 1989 where they built new premises.

>I guess, this one is the same as Margao Comunidate building (Lohia Maidan)
Answer: There are about 224 Comunidades in Goa out of which the maximum
40 are in Bardez Taluka. The Code of Comunidade was revised in 1933 and
special Administrators were appointed for the Comunidades of Bardez,
Ilhas and Salcette.
The Mapusa Comunidade was the headquarters of the Old Conquest of
Bardez. It was quite a powerful institution, as it controlled the main
occupation (agriculture) of the majority of the people in the territory.
The North Goa Planning and Development Authority (NGPDA) have already
approved plans for demolition of the building but the Goa Heritage
Action Group (GHAG) is trying to save it as a heritage structure.
The only portion of the building which is currently in use is the
extreme right corner, where BSNL offices are located.

>Also Psychotropic substances Court
>Mapusa, Goa
Answer: During Portuguese era it was known as “Tribunal”. It housed the
Court of the District Judge, which exists and functions to date. Besides
the High Court, there were three courts in Goa of the Juiz de Direito,
established during 1937 in the three Comarcas of Ilhas, Salcete and
Bardez. Hence, Mapusa as a chief town of the Comarca of Bardez gained in
stature.

Answer: Cine El Capitan was on the same spot; hence, named El-Capitan
Center.
